Little Thundarr study. I have been fighting with Thundarr and Miffy for my desk all day. Thundarr knocked everything off my desk at one point. Paint tubes flew everywhere! We are 885 away from funding! http://mysketchingobsession.com

Guatemala Part 2: Continuing in Antigua... We saw many eruptions from Volcan Fuego. I also found out my Mayan birth symbol was the Kan (serpent).

Guatemala part 1: I just had the most amazing trip to Guatemala! This is the first part from Atlanta to Antigua. Since it was Lent, we got to see the Procession. An amazing series of parades leading up to Easter. We did a lot of sketching.

Here is a piece I did for our upcoming Neil Gaiman Tribute show to celebrate Know Theatre’s production of Neverwhere.

This is a favorite scene of mine from Good Omens where Crowley and Aziraphale meet at St. James Park where spies from all over conspire and overfeed the ducks.
